Good, you've come over to the dark side, where engineers regularly make fun of each other and leave charged capacitors lying about...
Seriously though, snip the capacitor across the mains (Mark will tell you why) and as you are a beginner I'll allow you to wind it up gently on a variac.
On sets like this, the first thing to do is to get 'first light'. Most problems will be in the Power Supply and the timebases. Don't loolk for stock faults as such at this stage as the whole set is about 50 years old.
Good luck...
Cheers,
Steve P.

If we've always had that, why is the car boot open? You aren't smuggling in another old TV are you...?
